My 2021 Xmas BEER calendar
It seems I was a nice dad and husband this year as there appeared a nice xmas calendar at the 1.st of December at our house. This one is filled with 24 bottles of the best Belgian beer and was delivered for me from my lovely family.
Btw. the termn Xmas as a quite old history, as you see at the link to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas
Hey Hive Family
let us have a great time
even in this f#cking times
The Xmas calendar box
Yeah it is again a huge box filled with food for the rabbits of our friends.
Day 1 - Diekirch Grand Cru
From Luxenbourg there is the Diekirch Grand Cru beer. I love that style of bottle with that "Plopp" sound whenever you open the bottle.
Clear, amber color and a nice white head. Sweet nose, fruity, malty. Taste is malty, nutty with some sweet fruits.
Day 2 - Delirium Nocturnum
From Melle in East Flanders in Belgium there is the Delirium Nocturnum made by the Brouwerij Huyghe
Colour and sight: Dark brown-red. A compact white-yellow, stable and lacing head.
Scent: Touches of caramel, mocha and chocolate. Spices such as liquorice and coriander are also present.
Flavour: Initially, a very good mouthfeel of alcohol and softness. This is followed by an increasing bitterness, partially from the hop, but also from the roasted malt and chocolate malt. Towards the end a nice balance between bitterness, sour and sweet.

The meeting
The meeting of day 1 and day 2 before they went together into the fridge to get ready for jumping into my glass.
Day 3 - Duvel 666
What a number for a beer. The Duvel 666 blond from Breendonk-Puurs, Antwerp, Belgium is a Belgian Ale style beer with 6.66% and 20 IBU
Picking the Duvel 666
After a quick search with my hand inside the box, the Duvel was the pick of today

Number 666
That remind me to an damn old album from a band called Aphrodite's Child with the title 666

That's a fun adventure calendar. I see that multiples aren't opened. Holding back on opening each day so you can drink multiple at once - bold strategy there.
I'm drinking a beer right now. I don't know how I feel about it though. It tastes like soap to me hahaha.
I'm thinking it might be the hops used? 🤔
Yeah I prefer the good taste of this special beers and this calls the weekend
Great calendar, @detlev. 👏 🍻 🍺 Enjoy tasting! 😎 😁.
btw: cool sound - Aphrodites Child - Demis Roussos and Vangelis, right? Great musicians!
Yeah early 70ties and late 60ties stuff. Remembering this from being a DJ with all that vinyl stuff
I love that you are still doing this each year - The Delirium looks amazing. You have great family to put this together for you

Ok that’s not fair! I’m sending my kids off to boarding school and my wife can go live in the car until one of them makes me a beer advent calendar. Too cool 😎
LOL - try the other way round -
Have fun with the family and mention - "How cool such a beer advent calendar looks like" just a few times....
